Microchip IDE, that mining analytic stuff we had presentation a long

Changing the _runtime_ requirements for NetBeans platform affects
application builders - they are often being forgotten in discussions.
Do we know that those applications are planing to upgrade to
newer/future NetBeans Platform versions? If none of them plan to
upgrade, then the whole discussion is useless...
I think, if a project/application decides to stay with Java 8 because it
is to risky or to expensive to upgrade to Java 11+, why should they
upgrade to a newer NetBeans Platform version? Any upgrade has some risks
and costs. Isn't it more likely that they newer upgrade to latest
NetBeans Platform version?
Or the other way around:
if a project decides to stay on 9 year old Java 8, why can't they stay
on NetBeans Platform from 2023?
We can't stay forever on Java 8 just because some NB platform
applications still use Java 8 and "maybe" want upgrade to latest NB version.
And if they really need to upgrade to a future Java 11+ based NB
platform, they can upgrade their application to Java 11+ too...
